Denmark’s male footballers have decided to refuse a pay rise for playing for the national team in order to ensure their female counterparts get equal basic pay
Denmark’s male footballers have decided to refuse a pay rise for playing for the national team in order to ensureThe national football association had been looking to ensure equal pay for both teams but players from both squads were not in favour of taking money from the men’s team to pay the women.
“When we presented the plan to the negotiations team, which consisted of Andreas Christensen, Thomas Delaney, Christian Eriksen, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Simon Kjær and Kasper Schmeichel, they were very happy.” The plan also includes the players and the DBU jointly creating a clubhouse which can be used by all national teams – men, women and youth teams – as well as a development fund. The fund will be partly paid for by the men’s team when they qualify for the World Cup or Euros as well as the DBU, with both contributing one million Danish krone .
“The players can make suggestions how to use the fund … they can propose to help create those facilities or support with the national team,” Hansen added. “This was what they wanted. It showed that they are taking the responsibility. They liked the idea of providing other national teams with better opportunities and conditions.”
